Anyone care to share pics of their SS2 high mounted on an RB25? Preferably on a 6Boost manifold.

Also stao, can you run a rear turbine housing like the one on the T67 (which goes straight to Vband and doesnt have your 5 bolt IWG/EWG adaptor) on the SS2 at all? I test fitted a GT3076 on the 6BOOST manifold and it fitted fine but the SS2 front housing hits the cam covers.

I email'd Kyle (owner of 6BOOST) and sent him some pictures and measurements of the manifold. His response was that all manifolds come off the same jig and mine isnt any different to a standard item. He also said

"At a guess id say the hypergear turbine housing is bigger or the offset of the scroll closer to the flange centerline making it bulge out the rocker cover side more and hit. Borrow a proper Garrett turbo off someone and try it.

Regards, Kyle"

looks like you've got 3x options really:

  • Get Stao to get you another exhaust housing, something a little shorter so it brings the turbo down
  • Modify the manifold (probably worst option)
  • Get a Garett Turbo (probably close to worst option also)

That is BS

Ask him why other people using his Rb25det high mount manifold and this particular turbo fits.

All P Trimmed T3x turbine housings are identical. Its the "Area" over Radius that made up that volume which hits the rocket cover. To space it out, this area will have to be minimized, means no longer .82.

Also look how close this back plate is to the head. There is no way this comp housing can fit even the turbine housing is changed.

I've seen 6 boost manifolds high mounted SS2 with .82 turbine before. This manifold is very wrong.

The only way I see it, is by cutting off the manifold flange and re-weld it in the correct angle.

Surely people can understand my situation. I have 2 reputable people (Hypergear and 6Boost) both telling me that it's not their product that is at fault. I just want to know what my issue is.

That's why I asked for pictures of other people setups to be 100% sure that the turbo is fine.

If you look at thr manifold, the angle seems pretty aggressive so it brings the turbo closer to the head.

Can't be the turbo, all the exhaust castings are the same. If that's the case then every single turbo Hypergear sells would need different manifolds each time, however every turbo fits as it supposed to low or high mounted.

Even look at Cal's SS2, has been mounted in the most unconventional way and fits.

It's no big deal to cut and shut the flange to angle it away from the head, but obviously Kyle is unwilling to do that? Poor service indeed... You could possibly machine it, or weld a wedge shaped flange to the top?

I suggest you take it to another fabricator and never speak of 6boost again.

<p>looks like you've got 3x options really:

  • Get Stao to get you another exhaust housing, something a little shorter so it brings the turbo down
  • Modify the manifold (probably worst option)
  • Get a Garett Turbo (probably close to worst option also)
Another option would be a custom made angle spacer, between turbo and manifold.

Which would be weird! I can help out there if needed.

383rwkws with 23psi by 3500RPMs standard spec rb25det engine on single scroll high mount and external gate E85. Thats about the limitation of most power and response. any thing more it starts to chock the engine down low and doing opposite. It feels as stock turbo pulling 383rwkws. No point getting any better response beyond this point.

That was with the old SS2 CBB CHRA, the new one can probably fetch 390rwkws.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
